Help with new build for Gaming/Rendering.

[xBloohberry]

So I'm building a new PC for $2500 and I have 2 things that are going to come out within two months so not all of the specs are going to be leaked. Is there anything I could I could upgrade?

Case and CPU Cooler : http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...t=Combo.907466
Replace the H100 Fans with Red LED ones and make them in a Push/Pull configuration

Motherboard : Waiting for the Maximus V Extreme

CPU : Waiting for I7-3770K

RAM : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231510

2x HDD's in RAID 0 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822152185

SDD : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231415

Video Card : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130771
Going to get another 680 later on and put them on SLI

So what do you think will the ROG Color Scheme look good going to replace all the fans and put Red LED ones and buy and LED Kit for it. What do you think?

By the look of it, the choices seem a little odd.....

I agree, this is very odd. I think a sabertooth z77 would be good enough.

Looks more like a gaming build to me.

Didn't get it, grottslampan and Spartan-0804 - why the choices are little odd?!

XZEMi: a good gaming setup will likely handle rendering too...

xBloohberry: in changing the H100's fans, you may want to see our arguments with Johndoe in Furian's thread (http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread...untry=&status=). He is right about the fan's static pressure, but it's your choice if you want a silent system or doesn't matter...

If you want to render, IMHO, you're going to want to go X79. LGA1155 based systems are great for gaming, but honestly, you want 6 cores for rendering.

Looks OK to me....except for the ssd which is SATAII maybe look at sata 3 models. Good luck with the build!
